Question

A recipe that can make 8 jumbo blueberry muffins calls for 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder. How much baking powder is needed to make 3 dozen jumbo muffins?

Please make it simple

Answer 1

1 dozen = 12

3 dozen = 3 x 12 = 36

36/8 = 4.5

They need 4.5 times the amount:

4.5 x 1.5 teaspoons = 6.75 teaspoons ( 6 3/4)
